## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Wonderful experience at St John's: I have been thoroughly impressed with the school's values and ethos, particularly the emphasis on love and forgiveness. My child has made great friends and the teachers are always available to offer support. The residential trips are a great way to build confidence and independence. *(Feb 2023)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about St John's: I have mixed feelings about St John's. The staff are generally friendly and the school has a lovely atmosphere. However, I feel that the curriculum could be more challenging for some children and the lack of after-school clubs and activities is disappointing. Overall, it's an okay school, but could be improved. *(Sep 2022)*
